Not a huge poster but have to share this story that has just happened at work...
I work in Saffron Walden and facilitated access to my brother's house for a local appliance company to install his new oven. They picked up the key no problem and just dropped it off. The engineer who dropped the key off said 'your brother is an Ipswich fan obviously' I confirmed this and that I too am an Ipswich fan. The engineer then said he must leave now as I could guess with that remark that he was a Norwich fan(scummer). As he left my office he couldn't help himself and said 'good game Sunday' to which I said it wasn't a great game to watch but fair result, he then finished off with 'Klose though, Klose for you guys, better luck in 9 years'.
Perhaps I am bitter/gutted but in a professional capacity I think this chap should just keep his mouth shut and get on with his day to day appliance fitting without stepping into my office and spouting his bullsh*t. Roles reversed I certainly wouldn't be making quips at work to someone I'd not met before and a customer.
Thanks for reading. (deep breath) |  | | |  |

I think you are being a tad over sensitive IMO... |  |

Should have shouted 'Feck off!' at him. It's quite acceptable in a professional capacity. |  |

A bite amongst Town fans I guess in this forum but not in front of my colleagues etc in the office. | | | |

I think you should report him to his bosses. That is unacceptable behaviour and brings his company into disrepute. Hemay even cause the share price to fall and lose a lot of people their livelihoods.
Do these people not think about the consequences before they act?
I'm outraged for you IpswichBen. I need a lie down. |  | | |

I've got a business contact based in Norwich and of course is of the yellow and green persuasion.. This one happens to be a very attractive young lady and always diplomatically plays down footy banter- not that it bothers me that much if she has the odd dig.. She was however, clearly kind of smug yesterday-not over the 9 years cr@p or anything on the lines of "we're better than you"etc but she and her ilk knew they got out of jail big time at the end. It was a moral victory for the Town (even if it felt like a loss on 95 minutes to us all)
The oven gadgie was a wally. Report him for being rude to clients to his boss.. |  |

Outrage indeed Heathlander, good point made. | | | |

Jesus.
What is it with modern day football fans? I've got a Norwich fan upstairs in our office and if we'd won I'd have given him no end of (friendly) stick. And if they'd won I'd have been expecting it all of yesterday.
It's football! When did people get so fecking sensitive? | | | |

Sounds like someone who is pretty disillusioned with their job and doesn’t give a s*** about the professional image of their company if they think it’s OK to wind up customers over what team they support. |  | | |

you need a safe space. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Completely agree, if this was from a colleague in my office I'd expect all sorts of stick. Just unexpected when coming from an employee of a company we give business to and who I have never met/seen before. Just thought it was all a bit odd and unnecessary. | | | |

Footy fan gives another footy fan some banter. Shocking.
I'm also offended on your behalf |  |
| No thanks...I don't do the horse |

More importantly I can't really understand how you can safely install an oven with webbed hands.
How does he hold his left handed screwdriver ? [Post edited 20 Feb 2018 13:08]
